In my opinion, the key reason is California imposed its law on egg producers. Our eggs, coming from California, went up from $0.97 to around $5.00. Over the past year eggs everywhere are going up to the same since that worked so well for California. /s
“To date, about 5.76 million birds have been depopulated due to HPAI and 43.78 million have been commercial layers..”
That sentence will make sense if one shifts one of the decimals one decimal place—the question is, which one?
I don't know how widespread this is. But if many others did this, then the regulations lowered supply.
Soon restaurants and cafes will demand payment in advance for breakfasts. People will come up short or max out a credit card if they pay after the egg meals.
I paid $2.98 for a dozen large eggs (admittedly on sale for some reason) and $3.28/lb. for a bottom round roast (day before expire date) just yesterday here in TN. Gotta know where to shop.
Here in DC area, beef (and all meat) prices went completely haywire since the pandemic. Used to be you could get a decent steak for $7, hamburger for $4, and a bottom round or london broil for about $3. Today, it’s more like $15, $8 and $7
That explains the direction they are taking in that remake of the ‘Rawhide” western TV series where Pauly Shore plays the part of Trail Boss Gil Favor and Paris Hilton replaces Clint Eastwood as the Ramrod, and chickens replace the cattle.
We average about $20-$25 a month plus a lot of table scraps feeding our 12 chickens and 2 ducks, we have eggs all year round and supply a bunch to family also. What the chickens don’t eat, the Goats will, but they get their share also
...and the hens still get NOTHING!!!
I paid $3.08 for a dozen large eggs at Wal-mart a couple of days ago. I’m much more worried about the price of everything else than I am of eggs.
““collusive scheme” among top U.S. egg producers “
AH. So the Biden memo has made it out. It’s BIG EGG!!!
So many lies from these evil bastards. Got to a feed store. Since Chomo Joe was installed all my animal food has easily doubled. Goat food and COB for the other animals pre Chomo, about $7 a bag. Now. Close to $20 a bag. Chicken food the same. Two to Three times higher than pre Chomo Joe.
Maths is hard!
If eggs went from $1.93 to $4.82 in 1 year as stated.
How did Mr. Curl come up with an increase of 70%?
$1.93 + 70% would be $3.28
$1.93 + 150% is $4.83
article is hogwash ... everyone here knows it’s because bags of Tractor Supply chicken feed have some kind of mysterious new toxic ingredient ... probably defective graphene oxide that was rejected for use in covid vax ... either that or chem trails ...
There is something to this article.
I’ve been buying local, corn-free/soy-free eggs (pasture raised) for a number of years. Before the virus they cost me $4.99/doz.
The purchase I made on Tuesday was $4.99/doz. Yes, stores are selling eggs as high as $9/doz (name brands).
Maybe it is price fixing.
We had no issues when Donald Trump was president with the cost of food or gas or utility bills. The skyrocketing inflation happened under Biden and the corrupt congress spending trillions. The article and others like are trying to deflect from reality.
